Summary: At least I liked it
Review: I've seen a lot of bad reviews on here for this movie. And let me tell you, I'm a tough grader mainly because I'm planning on attending college to be a screenwriter/director, so I'm picky when it comes to movies. But The Skulls was one I enjoyed. It had a very quick pace, excellent plot, and a decent script. The acting was fairly good, with a few exceptions, but all in all I found this to be an enjoyable movie. No, not nearly good enough to snag any academy awards, but it's good choice for fast-paced, good action movie. If you liked Enemy of the State, you'll like this...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You yankies are god damn mad!!
Review: Ok, Let me getto the point...just now i was reading a reallybad review one ofyou people gave this film and I don't think it's right! Anything with Josh in is automatically wonderful (maybe not apt pupil however as thats wierd) and you shouldn't say bad things about his films. Its a very good film and hell of a lot of people agree with me on this one, so in conclusion: Josh is God, don't dis!!Any fans of his out there that read this may consider ticking the 'Ifound this review helpful box' as I am a big fan too, so please back me up. Done now.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not worth watching even for free!!!
Review: Find something better to do than which this dribble. Nothing makes any sense and the ending is incredibly stupid. Lousy acting and silly screenplay only add to the mess of this movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not too good
Review: The idea was probably good - try to make a movie allegedly based on the real-life secret society Skull & Bones (of which many politicians, including George W. Bush and his father, and numerous influential business people are members). Somewhere along the way, however, the train came off the tracks. This film makes the society and its actions hokey. If the filmmaker truly wanted the almost unbelieveable real story to come out, he should have made a documentary.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: SKULLS - IT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH OR BE ANGER
Review: This movie is mean, man ...!!! It was clearly made with the best of intentions: a history about a Secret Society and a young man ( Jackson in his worst performance ever ) trying to get out of it. But the execution of the screenplay is so bad that all is lost...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Suitable for cable
Review: A forgettable product, a weak effort by director Rob Cohen. Joshua Jackson is disappointing as the lading character in this movie about a "secret" society where everybody knows who is a member or not !!! The accepted members erceive twenty thousand dollars on the spot and spend it withno low-profile at all !! A bad movie, no doubt, but you can watch it if you're totally out of options.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A JOKE ..
Review: This movie is a joke. IT's not a movie to make you feel anger, but definitely is a bad production. The plot is so full of holes I could not believe it! Acting is poor from beginning to end ( it's sad to see McDonald, one of the actors from "THELMA & LOUISE", in it ). The funniest part is to know that the "SKULLS" are highly secret. But the new recruited students accepted into it each receives a brand new Porsche, Ferrari, Thunderbird or whatever !!! Second funniest part is to know that the society is so well-organized that their leaders keeps a tape showing a cold murder is the same place and manner as all the others surveillance tapes they have !!! The duel sequnce in the end almos made me laugh, I thought it was a comedy. As for Joshua Jackson acting, forget it...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie
Review: I'll have to disagree with some people when they said it was ok and the last half wasn't good. I think this was a great movie and own it on dvd. You start off with Joshua Jackson working out. (Now that's a great start) It's about the Skulls a hush hush group that few get into. When Joshua Jackson gets a chance to join the group he joins. After that, he starts finding out bad things about the club that he's not too sure about. Joshua Jackson does great acting in the film, different from Dawson's Creek. I highly recommend this movie for people who like a little drama, a little action, and a plain good movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great movie for Josh Jackson fans
Review: I am a big Josh Jackson fan and altho the story had big holes in it, I really enjoyed it. It's a fun movie and I think overanalyzing it takes the fun out of it. It's not a GREAT movie... but it's a pretty good one.

Josh did a great job portraying the underdog who realizes things are not at all what he thought. He sets to make things right. There's action and suspense. The cast really seems to enjoy working together.

I love Josh Jackson's work and if it was truly horrible, I never would have been able to sit through it, much less buy the DVD to watch over again.

It's a must-see for Josh Jackson fans. The extra scenes at the end of the DVD were enough to make my purchase worthwhile.

This was Josh Jackson's first lead-role in a feature film (I think). I look forward to his future projects.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: the worst.
Review: Whoa boy, I've seen some pretty lame flicks last year, but The Skulls definitely comes in as one of the worst. It's a mind-bogglingly stupid tale about a pretty boy (Joshua Jackson) who stupidly decides to join a secret society, and it seems all the members of this society, called The Skulls, are pretty dumb in their own rights, too. Of course, this didn't prepare me for the lame as heck finale, which features a duel, that's right, a duel involving two flintlock pistols.
